Would I be missing any other files because the towns don't show up when 
I zoom in closer? Or would that be a setting in Xastir it's self? You 
know what part sucked is having a hard drive crash on you about a week 
after you installed Xastir lucky for me I did not do much other then 
just install from the version that came with mint.. but this is the 
first time I've had installed from source not that bad but I need to do 
it a few more times before I feel good enough at it.
